Farm Africa was founded in 1985 and today, the charity is dedicated to empowering local farmers by helping them establish their own sustainable businesses.
Farm Africa works to reduce poverty in Eastern Africa by helping local farmers develop and improve their own agricultural businesses. They do this by donating disease and drought-resistant crops, and livestock (particularly goats).
The organization also provide legal assistance and improve access to large food markets. In addition, the charity has established local savings associations so business owners can apply for loans in times of crisis.
